Worms have holocentric chromosomes, so they have to do meiosis with adjustments 😅

I swear there's a bunch of loop-extrusion model papers that I can't remember right now

But I know that in worms, Cohesin is only lost from the crossover during meiosis I but stays holding the sister chromatids together for the rest of bivalent – argument for around?
